The Lubbock Police Department has released a composite sketch of a kidnapping suspect.

Around 8:30 p.m. Monday, officers responded to the 7200 block of Avenue W after a man reportedly tried to abduct a 15-year-old girl. The teen screamed after the suspect grabbed her, prompting neighbors to come outside. The suspect then fled the area.

A Texas Department of Public Safety forensic artist created a composite sketch of the suspect, based on descriptions provided by witnesses. The composite is an approximate likeness of the suspect.

The suspect is believed to be a Hispanic man between 17 and 20 years old, and is possibly between 5 feet, 7 inches and 5 feet, 10 inches in height. He fled the scene in a dark-colored GMC, possibly a pickup truck.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Line at 741-1000. Callers can remain anonymous.
